Best of the liveaboard i ever experienced
This trip is reallllly amazing. For Most of the important thing is that in thIS boat u can use a price less than in land but had a better experience. BELIEVE ME. As a economical liveaboard ，The boat is big and only 10 guest for 1 shared cabin and 2 double room. The equipment area is located on the both side of the boat with dining area in the middle. Under the dining area is shared cabin and for above the dining area is a deck that u can get a sun bath. And then for the same deck is captain room and crew room and then is and area with sofa recliner under the fabric of preventing sunshine. So both who love sunshine or not can find there relaxed area. The dive guide is kind and experienced ，and everydive can make a more than 60min dive. They were very responsible for their work without any impatience. The itinerary is very full with not only diving but land tour such as seeking for komodo dragon in rinca island. Hiking to gili lawa mount to watch the sunset. Go to watch the Bat sunset in karong island. The value of these activity is far more than its price. The food. Trust me. I don't like Indonesian food but the chef can make it still delicious for me ，A Chinese person with a discerning palate. The crew is willing to solve all ur problem at anytime. So i give them tips in the end and separated some crews. They make me impressive and really friendly. For the shotcoming ， for the dive site shotgun They don't allow using the hook. It is stupid because in komodo national park gloves is prohibited. So u can only use ur hand grab a sharply rock to against a strong current that u had never been and got injured. And there were only 2 toilet for the whole ship but i can understand. But one of the diveguide i think It is inappropriate to compete with guests for use of the toilet.He should use it before or after The guest. Because The time of guest using is very concentrated in some time. But these 2 little shortcoming is not influenced it that still a great liveaboard. And for the dive site. Everything is good except for the visibility. U can see bumped head parrotfish. Black and white Manta rays. Eagle rays. Blacktip whitetip sharks. Turtle. Jack storm. GT. And in northern area there were a strong current in shotgun. Vividly soft and hard coral in Batu bolong and crystal rock. Trust me. The best way of diving in komodo. Maybe it is the best.

This was the favorite part of our honeymoon
We loved our time of the sokaraja! It was so fun getting to explore the beautiful reefs in Komodo. We saw lots of Mantas and got to dive in some fun currents.
